Huge Freakin Fish

[RockyGoldy]

man, you people!

you all morn at the sight of a picture like this and feel better about it by saying how horrible the person is who has done this, when how much better are you? do any of you use live feeders? how about if you have eaten any meat lately? what makes one living thing's life more important than another? is it your personal prefence? because you don't see the meat you eat get scared, tortured, killed and then cut from the carcas, then what it doesn't happen?! if you try to say that livestock and feeders are raised for food then you are contradicting your "caring" self buy judgeing their lives. who are all of you to judge this fisher/spearer? you may try to make the argument that this fish is so old that it deserves to live; when looked at from another perspective; it was lucky enough to have experienced what it did. how about feeders that are robbed of life so young why do they desirve it less? you sterio type the fisher man as feeling macho from this...... he gets about as much machoness from it as you do righteousness from condeming him. as for that monster fish in the pic; imagin all the smaller fish that it has eaten because it was bigger than them, well humans are on the top of the food chain...... deal with it
remeber LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE

Dude....i think you get this perspective totally all wrong...

Fish eat another fish to survive..that is totall fine!! this is how the ecosystem is..the higher u are up there, u feed on the ones lower in the food chain...

BUT! to KILL just for the sheer PLEASURE of it....to show you are a better being just by killing a weaker being...is just sick in the stomach!

I doubt this spear fishin dude speared that giant fish for the sake of feeding his family?

think about it.

who said for the pleasure of it. i don't have it wrong i am talking about judging the importance of life
i think you just skimed through untill you found something you could pick at (the last lines)

who said for the pleasure of it. i don't have it wrong i am talking about judging the importance of life

yes...thats the line this dude has crossed....we feed our fishes live feed..in order to sustain another life...but this dude spear and killed the fish...just for his ego and that smile on his face...

now, tell me..who is abusing life here?

 

[finsandfangs]

if he killed it and threw it out then it is a waste of life if it was used then the fisherman pleasure is irrelevant

 

[seighten]

is ok... finsandfangs is one of those gun-toting, kill everything that moves, a buddy of ted nugent types... is ok, he will never get it and that is fine! the point remains, if you are one of those types that kills just to kill you will never be looked upon with a great deal of respect from a sizeable part of society....!

if he killed it and threw it out then it is a waste of life if it was used then the fisherman pleasure is irrelevant

So..it is ai ok to kill for pleasure huh??

 

[finsandfangs]

i would never kill just to kill read between the lines i talked about one life not meaning more than another

what i am saying is who cares if someone gets pleasure in killing his own meal ( obviously this fish was for show ) if it is not wasted you can not say it is wrong unless you say all killing for food is wrong. other things are going to be killed and eaten so it doesn't matter what fish or mammal it is.

by the way your feelings on the subject have clouded over what i have actually said because your perception of me is way off
i would rather shoo a bug than crush it

 

[finsandfangs]

the meat you eat gets killed for money
pleasure or money doesn't matter as long as it serves the same purpose
food

 

[redtailfool]

Thats an impressive sized fish .Too bad it was speared out of pleasure.
It was probably over 40 years old, that fish.

you seem to feel that you are above someone who enjoys hunting because you don't kill the meat you eat
